Who the heck are these people thinking this movie was great? I think this is one of the most BORING movies I've ever seen. If I could give it - 2937439475830475 stars , I would.

Great "story", incredible acting and delivery, the serious tone of the movie is peppered with an underlying sense of humor, the mise-en-scene is awesome, a definite must-watch! Its one of those movies that lets a viewer really connect with the characters, one is convinced they are playing themselves, not roles. My only regret is that having seen it, I'll never be able to experience the first-viewing again. More than recommended!
Andrea Tsereteli (House of Targaryen)
David Seidler, who wrote the screenplay, clearly did his homework, and the script is rich with dialogue uttered by the royal prototypes. Though he takes artistic license with certain facts, most such liberties are acceptable.
A brilliant Colin Firth leading a sensational cast with Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter.Watching Firth agonisingly stammer his way through the closing speech at the Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium in 1925 is a masterclass in acting.

After seeing "Apartment Zero" and being bowled over again by his amazing performance as the Argentinean pretending to be British, I felt the urge to see "The King's Speech" again - So glad I did. It was very moving to see Adrian Leduc being George VI. What an astonishing actor. In Apartment Zero he creates a character without a personality. A repressed, innocent that comes out as a total weirdo but we know better. His undeclared needs reflected in Colin Firth's eyes are a prodigious acting feast. In The King's Speech, his George VI suffers from a different fear but it's also pungently clear in the actor's eyes. I think what they both share is a desperate wish to be invisible. For King George that's an impossibility so, his struggle to move forward, learning to be the man everyone expects him to be is enormously moving. As you may have guessed, Colin Firth has become one of my favorite actors of all time.
